Hard working people who can't speak the language are being rocked. he said, because after purchase they find out the arm ing restrictions will not allow them to rent even though there in a second kitchen in the home." Townsend, who claims there are more people violating the zoning regulations in his Ward 2 than anywhere else in the bor. ough says he wants the problem attacked from two directions. He wants funds allocated for special borough-wide advertising campaigns in the local and eth- nie press to make the public aware of the restrictive bylaws placed on single family dwel- lings.

Hundreds .Olld pouibly thousand. of people in York - plrticulnrly Itali- lnL - .havo purchased homes in recent - It inflated prices on the as- sumption that they were acquiring income produc- in. properties. At council Monday, Ald- erman Ben Nobleman stat- ed that some speculators in the borough are selling single family homes to new Canadians on the assump- tion that they will be able to rent part of it. Up " the mount, Ontario has shown no inure“ in the problem In said, adding that w. J. Kath- on", r.ttistrar of rul um. Ind 3min“: brokers mm! that fho matter is out of his iuris- diction. Townsend also wants the Tor. onto Real Estate Board' to ask members to specify exactly what kind of home a person is pur- chasing on the offer to purchase forms. The form should Mate, he suggested, whether the property is for single family occupancy only or if it is a revenue pro- ducing property. D. B. Kirkup. TREE research director pledged "100 pk. co-op- rration" but rejected the idea that requiring brokers to include this information 'on real estate forms would serve a useful put'- pose. He said persons interested in buying s property usually know what they are getting. Fur- ther, TREB listings all designate the zoning of a property, and all brokers are forbidden to even hint that a house is e revenue producer if it is not. York council, he "id, is trying to bleme someone else fer its own mistakes. He steted that the restrictive zoning bylaw is "in. equlteble unless it is enforced In its entirety." Throughout the entire borough. it is a well known fact that many people are using their homes for multiple occupancy. It is un- fair to penalize some for renting part of their homes if you tiotft penalize the others too. Kirkup laid-it would be ensy for York's bylaw department to zero in on these people by checking ad. dresses with school recortis.
